Class Experience

This is a working session where students solve 7-10 competition-style problems per class.
🔹 Try It First! – Students will attempt problems independently before we discuss solutions.
🔹 Guided Discussion – The teacher will break down solutions step by step while encouraging students to explain their thinking.
🔹 Group Learning – Students share their strategies with classmates, building confidence in problem-solving.

This class is not a lecture-based course. Instead, it's a space for students to think critically, take risks, and grow their math intuition in a fun, engaging environment.

Shy students may listen and participate via chat, while outgoing students can actively discuss their solutions.

If a student is stuck, the teacher will walk through problems step by step, ensuring they understand the approach.
